DEFINITION
The CE marking indicates that a product complies with the applicable EU harmonisation legislation and that a conformity assessment procedure has been carried out. It is visibly, legibly, and permanently affixed by the manufacturer or their authorised representative.
DeclarationCE marking
The CE marking is not a mark of quality or origin; it applies only where the relevant legislation provides for it. Its size, shape, and accompanying information must follow strict specifications; where a notified body is involved, its identification number must be indicated.
Operational practice: Prior to affixing the marking, the conformity assessment, technical documentation, and EU declaration of conformity must be completed. Internal release procedures govern the point from which products may be marked and dispatched.
Key Points
– Only after a successful conformity assessment and DoC.
– Missed or improper CE marking → Regulatory action.
